1LT WILLIAM BROOKS KISER

I am Bill's first cousin. He is remembered with great affection and respect by his family. I never met Bill, but many cousins have told me he was a warm fun-loving person whose company was always appreciated and enjoyed. He grew up in Sheffield, Alabama, and Phoenix, Arizona. He graduated from Scottsdale High School, and worked his way through 3 l/2 years at Arizona State University by working as a brakeman for the Southern Pacific Railway. He joined the Army, went through OCS, became an officer, went to Vietnam was a forward artillery observer. He was based at Camp Bearcat east of Saigon. On October 5, 1967, he and two other men drove in the evening to the village of Ap Binh Son, and he was ambushed and killed near that village. I have always wanted to have contact with the two persons in that jeep with him, but have never learned their identities. would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows.
